When to pick AM? Pick AM when you feel your team can win the game without you, cause you need at least 30 minutes free farm (to be real threat for enemy) ;). It is a hyperbole but not far of truth. I am always happy if somebody in opposite team pick Magina and always sad when my teamnate pick him, because in 90% cases is the same story = at least 30 minutes 4 vs 5 and then Magina cant do a **** even if he have all wanted items because the game is already lost. Most of carries are more usefull then Magina..

Not really.. AM requires a solid team to force fights without him in the early stages of the game but he is not useless for 30 minutes (I managed to get a 17 min manta fury with treads PMS wand and Tp scroll and carried my team to victory). Anti-Mage is a not a weak carry.. Try to get more games playing him and u will realize what i am saying.. :)

Kinda interesting build but in my opinion buying an early BF leads to a faster VG than rushing a VG then fury.. U just have to be careful while still being able to farm efficiently..YOU KNOW..JUST CARRY THINGS :)

ofc, to be honest, I also like good old bf rush more convinient. I tried vang first build after some random dude stomped us in party mm and to be honest... it's suprisingly effective and doesn't delay your BF by more than 1-2min (ofc, if vang is good call given the situation).
The best thing about this is how indestructible and invincible AM becomes xD

im happy to hear your experience... the thing with VG is that 2k+ gold will be the half of your BF and if your having free farm ,buying fury will be the better call. Nice to hear your opinion anyway.. thanks for reading my guide :) makes me wanna create more

Please, NEVER buy midas! BF is your farming item and not a midas! Delaying your battlefury on an AM is stupid, the BF will allow you to farm much more gold than a midas would!

You don't need to put "!" :)

Midas is just a SITUATIONAL PICKUP. And managing to buy one before the 5 min mark (if u got absolute free farm) will delay your battlefury a bit but sometimes getting fast levels is more then appreciated especially when you need to outlevel a certain carry instead of outfarming him/her (morphling is a good example since after he got decent levels and managed to buy a manta style he can farm farm different lanes at the same time)

Just a situational item , not the item that you will get in 100% of your games. :)

Thanks for your opinion anyway :)

Nice guide, you're clearly someone who knows how the hero works and what to do with him. Maybe you could make the guide look a bit nicer and more colourful but what you've written is spot on. Was just wondering how important you thought getting a heart was now that the new gives decent health regen. My build is , , , , , and then , I'm still not massively convinced about buying and , I get Vlads occasionally but I don't like the recent obsession with since 6.87. +1 though.

Thanks for all the good words man! :)

Yeah , im planning to make it more colourful than before (since i finished all the details maybe ill put some designs to it)

About the heart of tar***que, yeah the new abyssal blade is good since it gives anti-mage survivability not just raw dmg but sometimes in a few games you will realize your dmg output is acceptable but u still need a lot of EHP to dish out the dmg you want and heart is a good call for that.

Buying vlads is not a good call in all of your games (i only buy vlads if my team is falling behind so hard so i need to buy a cheap item that can help me manfight for a bit and vlads helps a lot and take note it helps your team to since it provides useful auras)

I really never tried to build early VG ever since the time I switched into dota 2, but buying early VG can be good now because of the rework of the abyssal blade. But considering my skill build, i don't thinki will come to a point that i will buy VG first than BF. Still an item that other players may try for themselves though.

Have a niceday! :)
